Hi all,
I think I'm not the only one that couldn't figure out how to spend my precious/hard earned respect on the prestige vehicles. From now on I will post information about prestige vehicles that I get my hands on. Of course I cannot afford to buy every single one of them. So I can only test them whenever an admin is in good mood to spawn me a temporary one to test out.
Big thanks to Red Hands for spawn me the first vehicle I tested and documented.

AH-1Z Escort (this one might be the Hex version):
Pilot weapon:
inner-pod hydra rockets: 32
outer-pod hydra rockets: 32
Gunner weapon:
M197 20mm cannon: 750 rounds
AIM 9L sidewinder(AA): 2
Inventory capacity: 3000
Crate capacity: 0
Passenger capacity(exclude pilot and gunner): 0
Advanteges:
Very comfortable to fly. Very stable. The HUD displays all the needed information including speed, altitude, weapon type, ammo, etc.
Vehicles in front of you are highlighted on the HUD. The M197 gun is pretty decent. In my opinion the M197 gun is better than Mi-24 Superhind's gun.
Disadvanteges:
Top speed is not very fast (about 250 to 270 km/h). Not armored enough against .50cal and above. Probably will be killed with only one AA missile. Due to poor armor, AH-1Z cannot stay in battlefield for long.
Cannot load crates. Cannot slingload.
